NCR Aloha Cloud has proved to be an invaluable tool in various restaurants and event centers, serving as a crucial part of the sales process. Users have reported that the software enables seamless communication between front and back of house staff, facilitating real-time execution of restaurant service. Front of house staff can easily send detailed orders to the kitchen, including specific timings and coursings, while the back of house receives orders through a system of printers, ensuring items are directed to the appropriate station for preparation. With its user-friendly interface, NCR Aloha Cloud has streamlined the checkout process with separate tabs for efficient organization and quick access to items. Additionally, users have found the lookup feature for items without buttons to be particularly helpful, as it ensures all products are easily accessible for ringing up. This software also extends beyond just point of sale functionality; it is used across organizations for time management purposes, inventory management, scheduling, tip declarations, and more.

In addition to its success in traditional restaurants, NCR Aloha Cloud has proven its versatility in other settings as well. For instance, it serves as the point of sale system for food and drink operations at a casino, covering both front and back of house as well as office sides. It is also utilized in full-service restaurants where it manages point-of-sale transactions and time management for efficient operations. Furthermore, this software acts as a point-of-sale system for entertainment and dining options, with registers seamlessly synced to each other. While some users have opted to switch to other systems for specific locations or purposes, overall feedback highlights NCR Aloha Cloud's simplicity and ease of use even for new users.

User-Friendly Interface: Many users have praised NCR Aloha Cloud for its extremely user-friendly interface, which has greatly facilitated fast and accurate transactions. The layout and simplicity of the program make it easy for all users to learn, streamlining the training process.

Versatility in Handling Transactions: Reviewers have highlighted the versatility of NCR Aloha Cloud in handling large transactions and offering a wide range of payment options. Some users appreciate the ability to charge payments to house accounts, while others value the flexibility of accepting check, cash, or card payments. This versatility makes it easier for businesses to accommodate various customer preferences.

Efficient Check Splitting: A common positive sentiment among reviewers is the ease with which NCR Aloha Cloud allows for splitting checks. Users commend the seat number system that optimizes table delivery and facilitates organizing potential split checks. By automatically breaking down items and total checks by seat, this feature minimizes interruption and slows down service lessens interruptions during busy periods.

Customization Limitations: Some reviewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the limited customization options in NCR Aloha Cloud, particularly when it comes to receipt settings and POS screen personalization. These users feel that more flexibility in customizing messages on receipts and individual server's POS screens would greatly improve communication and speed of service.

Software Functionality Issues: Several reviewers have encountered software functionality issues with NCR Aloha Cloud. They have reported difficulties with end-of-day functions, especially in 24-hour establishments where open items auto-close, potentially causing problems. Additionally, some users have mentioned that certain features like the auto spooldown feature do not work as expected and need to be addressed by the development team.

Limited Tech Support: A common concern among reviewers is the availability and response time of tech support for NCR Aloha Cloud. Users have expressed frustration with needing assistance from tech support to perform tasks such as adding or deleting tabs due to the constant growth and updates of the program. They also mention that getting timely help from tech support can be challenging, which hampers their ability to resolve issues promptly.

Aloha POS is particularly well suited for companies within the hospitality industry where you are dealing with a lot of people at once. The software helps create an easy and seamless checkout process. Keeping customers moving quickly and remaining calm is especially important to us when it comes to providing superior service.

Aloha is great. The system is designed for very high volume use, it is pretty secure, and it is ridiculously easy to learn and navigate around in. In a casino, I am on the terminal constantly, as well as the other servers on their terminals, and very rarely do we have any connectivity issues, it never freezes on us, and it gives us solid reports at the end of the night.

Aloha POS is well suited for any kind of full-service restaurant, from high volume establishments to low volume, intimate fine dining settings. The universality to the system makes it an asset for any operation. I don't see much need for Aloha POS when it comes to fast casual, or fast food establishments, as Aloha POS is geared more toward constant communication and planning between the front of house service and back of house prep. For counter service, I believe this would be underutilized, and these establishments would be fine with a simpler service.

Restaurants and bars are what I believe to be the best place to utilize the Aloha POS system. We primarily use it for bar orders, as our restaurant is prepaid buffet with cash bar. Because we only use it for drinks, it keeps the screen options to a minimum making it easier to navigate for our bartenders and servers.

In a fast-paced, high-volume environment, this simple POS is a perfect solution to completing sales transactions. However, for establishments that would like to truly customize what their staff is seeing and ringing in, and what the guests are seeing when receipts are printed, this POS does leave something to be desired.
